    Wow is all I can say. We came for the Ramen (Midwest Shoyu and Akahoshi Miso), stayed for the Chashu rice - 2 orders it was amazing. It was absolutely phenomenal food, quick service. Watched the Ramen Lord in action and he even presented our Ramen at the counter! 10/10, eagerly looking forward to our next experience there.

    We had a wonderful time, but at the end of the meal we had difficulty signing into our QR code Lettuce Eats account to get our points. I don't think we ever were able to figure it out (my husband had to try even though it was his birthday and I didn't want him to have to deal with the bill.) Please streamline this and/or just give paper bills. Thank you.
